Helpful hints
- Egg Fu Yung is a Chinese omelet topped with a cornstarch thickened sauce. This version is much lower in sodium compared to a traditional recipe or restaurant dish.
- Stir cornstarch mixture immediately before pouring into chicken broth.
- Substitute chicken instead of pork if desired. Four ounces raw pork or chicken yields approximately 1 cup cooked. Adjust the amount if you need more or less protein.

What's everyone saying?
We tried this for lunch today and enjoyed it. I am going to make up a batch of the sauce and freeze it in small portions for easy weeknight suppers. I will have to admit that I did add 1 teaspoonful of low sodium soy sauce to the sauce. Loved the sesame oil flavor.
WAY too much work for the "it's ok" response from my husband.
Sounds good, I make Egg Fu Young all them time as I felt it was kidney frendly. Mine is minus the mushrooms and garlic as hubby doesn't like either but I plan to print this out for future. Thanks.
